About the role

With our firm believe that we are part of a clean energy future, we are realizing positive environmental impact by replacing fossil fuel sources with renewable sources for the energy needs of our clients and stakeholders. Sunrock is expanding their proposition, by sustainable smart energy solutions. This is where this role comes in.

As Quantitative Trading Analyst within the Energy Trading team you will play a pivotal role in improving the business. As we’re growing at a high pace, not only in volume but also developing new products and countries, the complexity of our business is rapidly increasing. In this role, you’ll be building parts of our growing business, where you can also take responsibility over the end result. It doesn’t end with a good recommendation – we like to take ownership and really make our ideas work.

Your responsibilites

As a (Quantitative) Trading Analyst, you will be co-responsible for trading and optimizing our solar assets and battery energy storage in the energy market. You will co-develop trading strategies, statistical models, and decision support tools, collaborating closely with the IT department. Next to that, you will participate in the execution and monitoring of the day-to-day trading operations (currently being set-up), related to forecasting, trading/bidding processes and the (real‑time) dispatch of solar and battery capacity.

• You will participate in day‑to‑day forecasting and trading operations.
• You will monitor and analyze short‑term power market prices (spot, intraday, imbalance, reserve) and markets developments.
• You will develop (quantitative) trading strategies, optimize the production forecast using statistical methods and develop decision support tooling, working closely within the team and with other Sunrock teams (Data & IT, Finance, Asset Mgmt., etc.).
• Set‑up relevant performance reports, evaluate (forecasting and trading) performance and propose improvements.
• You will co‑develop asset valuation models and quantify commodity related revenues and risks.
• You will support the team in developing, implementing, and improving business processes.
• You will participate in ‘weekend shifts’ to execute daily trading processes on Saturdays and Sundays and in ‘On Guard duty shifts’ to warrant trading operations outside office hours.

What You Bring To The Table:

• A master’s degree (Msc) preferably in a quantitative field, like sustainable energy, econometrics, statistics, financial engineering, or other.
• You have 1-3 years of relevant working experience. Experience in the energy sector is a plus.
• Basic understanding of the energy markets (day‑ahead, imbalance, ancillary), market structure and participants.
• Experience in analyzing data using statistical methods and building quantitative models.
• Your approach is analytical but also hands‑on and pragmatic.
• You have intermediate/advanced skills in Python and SQL.
• You are excited to work in an environment where not much is set in stone.
• You bring energy to the team, are pro‑active and willing to make the difference.
